Lauren Wood praised Odell Beckham Jr. for making co-parenting 'rewarding'

Despite having parted ways almost a year ago, the two never hesitate to praise each other for keeping the co-parenting experience smooth and stress-free. Before Beckham Jr.'s recent statement, Lauren Wood shared her take on co-parenting her son Zydn with the wide receiver.

Wood's statement came via an interview with PEOPLE, in which the singer confessed that co-parenting is definitely "challenging."

According to Wood, co-parenting a child shows a lot about one's partner and it sure did the same for the singer. Opening up about her experience with the same, Wood explained:

"It's exciting. It's fun. It's challenging. It's rewarding. I feel like if you want to test you and your partner's characters and boundaries and values of compassion and forgiveness, nothing compares to co-parenting a toddler ... because they will reveal everything!"

Moving forward in the interview, Wood highlighted how her and Odell Beckham Jr.'s "life is pretty chaotic." But the two have been testing their abilities and have just been focusing on becoming better parents to Zydn.

It's this focus on improvement that has led to an "innocent competition" between her and Beckham Jr. But in the end, the two have been getting the most out of their co-parenting experience and trying to give their best to their kid.
